If you design a system such that you cannot differentiate people from corporations and bots and that’s your defense for calling all of them “users”, you’ve designed a system that conflates people – who are mortal, have feelings, can feel pain and be hurt and who have human rights that must be protected – with the very entities that oftentimes exist to exploit them.
Design for people. Call them people. All else is secondary.
@aral i really really love this. i was perusing your & your partners sites and am now intrigued. i have to spend a day looking into what y'all built with your foundation. i love the idea of web0. and i agree: everybody should have the ability to have a small static site. that used to be the case back in the wild west days of internet providers. with consolidation and monopoly, it was one of the first things to be disappeared. we need to legislate that back.
@blogdiva Thanks :)
And we can (and must) go beyond “static”. The Small Web vision is that people can have a dynamic site that can be (at least one of) their online identities. Protected by public-key encryption so that we can interact with each other privately (end-to-end encrypted) without Big Tech intermediaries and also be public as we please.
